The face of India

I was fortunate enough to have spent a decent chunk of time in southern India once upon a time. These are a few of the faces I encountered during my time there. One advantage of being a foreigner (and partly due to my ignorance) was that I was able to interact with all castes, including the lowest of the low. Many of the people featured here had never had a photograph taken and were shocked and honoured that I would want to take their photo at all. Their generosity and kindness is etched in my heart.
